How did they fit so much into this tiny camera?

Nikon has packed a lot of features and value into the compact Coolpix S6500. This 16-megapixel camera has an impressive optical zoom range of 12X, so you can get in tight on distant subjects. And the backlit CMOS sensor excels in low-light settings, so even when shooting conditions aren't bright, your photos' details will pop without looking grainy or washed out. Twenty preset scene modes help optimize the S6500 for almost any shooting conditions, or Auto mode can make all the exposure settings for you on the fly.
